Is it okay to store Cache files on an external hard drive. I have no room for another internal hard drive in my editing PC. The reason I want to move the cache files is because there are a thousand of them mixed among my video clips and it's becoming a long process to find the clips(assets) I need to go into the project panel.

since my earlier post, I have experimented with using an External Hard drive to store the cache files and Adobe Premiere Pro 5 is still working well, so I have proved the query I made about using an External hard drive. Of course I have to make sure that the drive is connected to the PC and switched on before opening up Adobe premiere pro 5. I still have a slight problem though and that is:- All the cache files are stored okay except the .mpg cache files and they won't store in any new destination I choose, they still store next to the video clips on the internal hard drive where I store captured video clips from the camcorder. I have tried opening a new folder on the internal drive but the .mpg files won't store in it. Can anyone tell me of any possible reasons why this is happening?

Roy, I hope someone with the same version of Premiere can help.
In earlier versions you set up the "scratch disc" as part of the preferences for a project and could specify any disc or folder you liked.

I have solved my problem with the .xmp files and everything works well.
